What are you buying?

[avrex]

1. What type of companies do you 'usually' pick that are so bad?
2. It was a brave move, glad it worked out for you.

1. I'm being too hard on myself. But, I did fall into some value traps earlier this year that kept going down. RIMM in the spring and Petrobank Energy in the summer. But, yes, I've had some good selections lately.
2. Thanks, T.gal

From the article "Despite the market turmoil that has fuelled a flight to quality among investors around the world, many of Canada’s highest-quality stocks and sectors remain surprisingly affordable even as they shield investors from the worst of the market’s declines. "

Then the author goes on to identify Manulife as one of the best...I near blew beer thru my nose...

Curious. Those of you who bought manulife, was it because you are in the industry? Or a related industry?

Just bought back into goldcorp again, probably 4th or 5th time this year.

And out.

Purchased agrium and potash today,

I had a limit set on POT.TO yesterday for 50 shares at $50.00.

It got filled.

I'm just looking to make a quick $100 and sell at $52.

If I am wrong, I will DCA at $46.

Very nice.

Is it really worth it to just make $100 on a trade, your fees would be (estimating here, could be slightly less or quite a bit more) $10 to buy, $10 to sell, that's 20% of your profits!
